Oh ok, well if Blackburn are no longer in Lancashire I guess that's a matter for them if they want to have the rose on their badge or not.
There are plenty of symbols that appear on many CoA like the lion and antelope. I appreciate towns like Blackburn were an essential part of the industrial revolution so perhaps have a fondness for the bee and what it represents.
But the discussion was about symbols representing places. The bee has always represented Manchester, even if it went over the head of one or two posters on here. The rose has always represented Lancashire.
For me, Manchester City represents the city of Manchester. Whether it's in Lamcashire or not (which it isn't) so the Rose doesn't really have much meaning anymore to the city, whereas the bee does.
i think it does, its part of our past and Manchester's identity. symbols on the badge dont have to be current or to do with now, the ship isn't exactly relevant to now either. the rose is very important in my opinion and should always be on the badge. the bee itself id just have on the shirt somewhere.
